To the pleasant, and unpleasant surprise of many ATS members, an average of the polls will show that nothing has changed. Nationally, Trump and
Clinton will still be within 2 points of each other before the October 9th debate on Sunday night.

I wonder if viewership will still be as huge for that one?

So do you mean Trump's numbers will continue to rise while Shillary's numbers continue on their downward trend?

You'll see some ATS posters wasting time by putting a thread entitled, "Hillary gains 6 points in Florida!", while another member starts a thread
entitled, "Trump gains 6 points in Pennsylvania!". What really matters is the average of all of these scientific polls. IMO, that average will
indicate that Trump/Clinton are still within 2 percentage points of each other, and will stay that way right up to the 10.9.2016 debate.

Okay once again an outsiders view . I stated earlier about the worst moderator in history and i still stand by that . Now i have no real interest in
the outcome of this election , but the fact that one of these candidates will have their hands on the nuclear launch codes is quite concerning .IMO
Hillary won but not convincingly , and the bias shown by the moderator swung me back towards Donald . Now Donny Donny Donny , you were clearly
unprepared but on the bright side for you the average voter will have well and truly forgot this effort by the 3rd debate . Hillary on the other hand
seemed to be fairly well prepared but lets face it there were no hard hitting questions so i dont draw a lot from that . Verdict , not one person
changed their mind going on this debate and that is reflected by those posting here . Remember people , launch codes . Who you want with their finger
on the buton .

You're articulate, but not a good reader of people, SudoNim. Since 46% of Americans are for Donald Trump, even with his flaws, and inexperience in
government, his performance (or lack thereof) in tonight's debate doesn't change a thing. If anything, it makes us more determined to show how
"deplorable" we really are.

In fact, Donald probably picked up some of the undecided Independent voters, because Hillary comes across as an arrogant rich woman. The stuff that
TV villains are made of.

Yes, they say the audience is expected to be equal to the Super Bowl.

But this debate is a lot more important than the Super Bowl. This debate may well determine the future of the World!

With the polls showing a virtual dead heat - If there is a clear winner - that candidate will become tha odds on favorite to win the election.

And the consequences are quite clear - If Clinton wins then you can expect a so called New World Order of Socialist elites to gain almost complete
control of the World.

If Trump wins then what is left of so called free-enterprise will still maintain its significance on the stage of world events.

The war between Socialism and Capitalism is about to be played out on television.
Two candidates with obvious flaws about to determine the future of the World!

As I see it Trump will try to make his case against Clinton's incompetence and corruption, while Clinton will try to snooker Trump into saying
something that will make him look like a dangerous personality. Indeed, we are yet to see what the strategy of the players is and who will be more
efficient at trumping the other candidate.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN !!!

I really dislike Clinton, for her neo-con foreign policies and support of Wall Street. However, she mopped the floor with Trump in the debate.

Can you pick whether the polls are fixed or not, you keep flip-flopping. When others quote them you complain, but are happy to quote the figures
yourself.

I can agree that trump lost tonight, but thats not as big a deal as many would think.
There's a lot of discussion why the moderator never asked a single thing about emails, Benghazi, Clinton foundation, pay for play, Bernie..

all that has done is stoke the flames of how corrupt and bought the media is.

It is a hell of a lot easier for trump to convince people to vote for him than it is for her.
He's got the youth vote, the online people vote, he's got the unemployed vote, the angry and government vote. He's got all those people who hate
politics and politicians. Clinton has been around for decades, people dislike her and her families connections.

Its harder for her to convince people to vote for her
Its easier for her to lose support

While he lost, in basketball terms (75 def 68) there's still 2 games to go and she's used all her ''trump cards''

Right now, his advisers and friends will be preparing and arming him because they just saw Clinton's strategy.

plus, the next debate is nearly 2 weeks away?... plenty of time for Clinton to be her old self and destroy her polls still.

Not even Trump still talks about these dead topics, they only seem relevant to the members on ATS and maybe the "400lb hackers" Trump was talking
about.

You'll not be able to find a single ATS post with me declaring that the polls are fixed, or rigged, SudoNim. All I'm saying is that Trump losing the
debate tonight did not cost him any supporters. The 46% that were for him this morning, will still be for him tomorrow morning. (46% is the national
average of major polls)
